After a week of relaxation, enjoyment things are getting back to the normal track.
People started gearing up for Diwali shopping, decoration and preparations at least 5-10 days ahead and you can might have felt the festival mood in the streets, home offices and everywhere.
As the diwali is over people are still having a handover of long vacations, some are tired of the hectic week, some are not able to believe that the vacations are over and for some the vacation will last till Sunday.
The strange thing we observe post diwali in Gujarat is the entire Gujarat is closed for 5 days, businessman and shopkeepers do not open there business establishments before Paacham, they do a Muhurat trading only on Paacham and after that only the normal business routine starts.
Doctors, Dispensaries, grocery shops, medical shop all are closed, literally everything comes to a stand still, No traffic on the roads, no traffic police, no crowd it seems that everything has come to a stand still.
You will not find traffic policeman penalizing offender instead inculcating the violators and wishing them a new year.
In Gujarat, New year starts post diwali i.e. “Vikram Samvat”, basically in Hindu religion new year starts On “Vikram Samvat” only, but the celebration and acceptance is worth seeing in Gujarat.
People visit relatives, elderones on new year to seek there blessings and everywhere fun, food, joy is in the air.
